Thank you for the insite to correct my setup.  I now have encrypt passwords
= yes and security = users now and it works. I needed to learn about
'smbpasswd'. I really didn't want to have to maintain passwords in two
places, but...

Part of my problem was that I was reading a book on SAMBA and it went into
great detail about encrypt passwords and how to enable plain text passwords,
but hadn't mentioned smbpasswd yet.  But yet the book expected you to have
been able to use the shares by now.

I had gotten it to work the other way first.  So there are two ways to get
it to work.  Depends partly on how much security you really need.

what "security=" setting do you have in your smb.conf file?
do you have an smbpasswd file?
have you set the smbpasswd for each user?
